As the tenure of current Government draws to a close, there is no progress on negotiations for a peace accord with Naga armed groups, with talks stuck for almost a year due to an intransigent position taken by the Naga side on ‘symbolic’ issues, such as a separate flag, reports Indian Express on January 7. According to reports, ‘substantive’ issues had been resolved between the two sides and a draft agreement was ‘almost ready’ by then. But a change in Naga position has led to apprehensions that any gains made since 2014 will be lost with a change in political dispensation at the Centre. According to sources, the current logjam is largely due to the Church, which has taken a lead role in articulating the Naga political position in the past year. The Church has argued that symbols are integral to the identity of the Nagas, and that Naga identity would not be safe without them.It is politically unviable for the Centre to accept demands such as a separate Naga flag, even though, sources said, it has agreed to guarantee protection of the Naga identity. But if these changes can be brought later through a democratic political process, the Centre would have no objection, sources explained. At a Church-organised meeting held in Dimapur on September 8 2018, Naga civil society groups and political groups had issued a statement called the ‘Declaration of the Naga Collective Spirit’. It said that “the historical fact that the Naga struggle started before India’s independence strengthens our moral authority” and argued that “the Naga people did not violate any agreement for union made with any nation in our history. This establishes the legitimacy and integrity of Naga rights”.In what is seen as a repudiation of the argument that Nagas have to be realistic about being a part of India, the declaration noted: “We draw inspiration from Confucius who reminds us that, ‘When it is obvious that goals cannot be achieved, don’t adjust the goals, but adjust the steps’.”Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs), comprising representatives of six influential Naga rebel groups and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) or NSCN-IM, had met interlocutors of the Central government last month, and another meeting is scheduled in Delhi this month. But neither side is hopeful of a breakthrough, in light of the political narrative being articulated in Nagaland. The Centre had agreed to find a solution on the basis of mutually agreed sovereignty rights, which would take the unique history of Nagas into account, adds Indian Express. Among the substantive issues agreed upon by the two sides was creation of a cultural council for all the Nagas, removal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), enhancing political representation of Nagas in Parliament, creation of a bicameral state legislature, autonomous council for Naga-majority areas in Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh and major economic packages for the state of Nagaland. Some of these changes would have been effected through amendments to the Constitution.

United Naga Council (UNC) stated that that a solution to the protracted political dialogue going on between the Government of India and National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) would not do any harm to the Meitei-Naga relation, reports The Sangai Express on January 7. Kho John the newly elected President of UNC stated that Meitei’s apprehension of a possible doomsday as and when a final solution is worked out to the political dialogue is misplaced. When asked if Naga people’s faith for a solution is not waning as the dialogue process has been going on for too long, the UNC president said that the Government of India has been extending the peace dialogue again and again on the excuse that the Governments of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh have been continuously raising objections. He also alleged that Government of India has been exploring a solution, it has been trying to weaken the movement by resorting to delaying tactics. He stated that ‘The BJP-led NDA Government has not translated its assurance into action. Nonetheless, we have been watching patiently and closely what it would do before its term expires’.

Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has agreed to discuss the demands of the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO), an apex body of six Naga tribes, asking for a separate state under the Constitution, reports Indian Express on January 9. Officials stated that A tripartite dialogue was held between the ENPO, Nagaland government and UMHA under the chairmanship of special secretary (internal security) in December. After more than four years and several rounds of talks, the Centre is yet to come up with a peace accord in Nagaland. UMHA officials said that they had only agreed to “discuss the demands” of ENPO and no final decision has been taken while sources said the move may lead to division of State as the ENPO demands a “Frontier Nagaland”. Former ENPO President Khoiwang Konyak said, “Our demands and political issues are different from other Naga groups, including NSCN-IM, and are primarily concerned with six tribes namely Chang, Konyak, Khiamniungan, Phom, Sangtam and Yimchunger.” UMHA officials said that ENPO during the tripartite meeting cited provisions of Article 371-A (2) of the Constitution to stress that the eastern districts have a historical background, are comparatively less developed and required immediate attention. The ENPO’s original demand is for a separate state other than a separate assembly, administration, High Court and capital. Naga framework agreement, signed in 2015, is yet to be formalised, six tribes from eastern Nagaland under the aegis of ENPO have stepped up the long-pending demand for separate statehood under the Constitution. The peace accord that was to be finalised with Naga groups will now have to wait with the Centre agreeing to discuss ENPO’s demand for a separate state. In September ENPO rejected the Centre’s development package, cleared by the MHA, saying that it cannot be accepted in lieu of the demand for “Frontier Nagaland”. ENPO recently held three rounds of bilateral discussions with the state government while multiple rounds of talks have been held between the Centre, State and ENPO. ENPO has been demanding the creation of a separate state comprising the four eastern districts of Tuensang, Mon, Longleng and Kiphire for over a decade now. The organisation had first submitted a memorandum to then PM Manmohan Singh on November 25, 2010 which was referred by the Centre to the state government for its views. Officials familiar with the development at MHA said that the demand for a separate state may not be feasible but the government may consider giving them autonomous council authority.

Khango Konyak-led faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), a Naga insurgent outfit, has agreed to join the peace talks with the Government of India (GoI), Hindustan Times on January 11. The faction is likely to join the Working Committee (WC) of the six Naga National Political Groups (NNPG) which is in talks withGoI. According to ThejaTherieh, spokesperson of the Nagaland Tribes Council, Yes, the Khango Konyak led faction has agreed to join the peace talks. ShikutoZalipu, the General Secretary of Nagaland Gaon Bura Federation also added that Isak Sumi has given the green signal to join the NNPGs. Nagaland Gaon BuraFederation( Nagaland village elders federation) has been talking to the Konyak-led group since Khango Konyak was impeached as ‘chairman’ of NSCN(K) in August 2018 and given a safe passage to return to Nagaland from Myanmar. Zalipu stated that ‘The group wanted to retain its entity in the talks. They could either merge with the NSCN(I-M) or join the NNPGs. Since the Government of India has said no to talks with any third party the only option to enter talks while retaining their entity is to join NNPGs’.

United Liberation Front of Asom-Pro talk faction (ULFA-PTF) has threatened to pull out of the 'peace talks' with the Government of India (GoI) if the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB)is passed, reports Times of India on January 13. ULFA-PTF leader Mrinal Hazarika on January 11 stated that if GoImoved ahead with the Bill, the ongoing peace talks would be impacted. ‘There iswidespread resentment among the people of Assam against the Bill. In such a situation, it will be difficult to continue with the peace talks if the Centremoves ahead with the passage of the bill’. The dialogue between ULFA-PTF and GoI started in 2011. Hazarika said that the bill, which threatens the identity of the state, would render the talks meaningless if passed.

Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR), the influential civil society group in Nagaland has stated that Nagas “are not optimistic about a breakthrough in the peace process”, reports Indian Express on January 14. But the Centre’s interlocutor for Naga talks and Deputy National Security Advisor, R N Ravi, denies that the talks have reached a dead-end. FNR also gave a call to “re-imagine the Indo-Naga Peace Process,” a call for a complete overhaul which signals a dead-end for the ongoing peace process. In a statement issued on January 14, FNR stated that Based on the current political narrative being articulated, the people at home — in Naga-Land (not to be confused with the Indian State of Nagaland) are not optimistic about a breakthrough in the peace process. The omission of the people at this crucial stage is short-sighted. It has contributed to this distrustful narrative’. However, RN Ravi stated that it is not a dead-end and progress is being made in these talks”. Sources said Ravi met representatives of both Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs), comprising representatives of six influential Naga rebel groups, and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (-sak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) in Delhi last week.Seen as perhaps the most influential group in Nagaland, FNR was formed in principle on February 24, 2008 as one of the outcomes of the Naga Peace Convention organised by the Naga Shisha Hoho in Dimapur. It was christened on March 25, 2008 at Kohima with the support of 39 Naga frontal organisations, including the Council of Naga Baptist Churches (CNBC), and with the support of Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) and the Nagaland Christian Forum (NCF). Reverend Dr Wati Aier, a Christian priest, is the convenor of FNR. According to reports talks between the Centre and Naga groups had not made any progress for nearly a year due to an intransigent position taken by the Naga side on ‘symbolic’ issues, such as a separate flag. The Centre believes ‘substantive’ issues have been resolved but the political narrative being propounded by certain Naga groups is responsible for the deadlock.

Khango Konyak led National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) faction on January 29 resolved to “partner and participate” in the ongoing Indo-Naga political dialogue alongside Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs), reports Nagaland Post. With the addition of NSCN-K faction NNPG now has seven members. NSCN-K stated that Khango Konyak and ‘general secretary’, ‘colonel (retired) Isak Sumi decided to join the Working Committee (WC) of NNPGs, maintaining its identity and as partner in the ongoing political negotiations with the Government of India. The decision to this effect was made on January 29, after which a ‘deed agreement’ was jointly signed by ‘convenor’ and four ‘co-conveners’ of WC NNPGs, and NSCN-K ‘president’ Khango Konyak. Meanwhile, the grouping further resolved that all the signatories of the agreement should mandatorily enforce the ‘anti-defection agreement’, reports Nagaland Post. Defections among NNPGs were identified as one of the reason of reverses to the ‘Naga cause’. Importantly, as per the ‘deed agreement’, the members resolved to offer 10 days (with effect from January 29) to all defectors to return to their parent organizations, failing which, the NNPGs WC shall jointly decide on the course of action deemed necessary adds the report.

Additionally, Thirteen Naga tribe hohos and Working Committee (WC), Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) have resolved to work together towards bringing all Naga political groups to a common understanding, reports Nagaland Post on March 21. According to a statement issued by NNPGs WC media cell, the house acknowledged the progress of the political negotiations between WC and Government of India (GoI) and also referred to the latter’s position that a single agreement was on the anvil. On this, the meeting reaffirmed that it was a legitimate aspiration of the Nagas to live together as one. However, taking current political realities into consideration, the meet felt that whatever was honourable and acceptable to the Nagas in the present time must be pursued and concluded by the two negotiating parties at the earliest.

RN Ravi on October 18 stated that public consultation was a direct offshoot of the “unfortunate attitude” of some National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) NSCN-IM leaders, reports Eastern Mirror. The consultation meeting in Kohima was attended by the apex leadership of all the 14 Naga tribes of Nagaland, all the minority non-Naga tribes of Nagaland, Nagaland Gaon Burah (GB) Federation, Nagaland Tribes Council, church leaders and civil society organisations. KT Vilie, the coordinator of the forum representing 14 Naga tribes of Nagaland, said that the GoI ‘might take some action by the end of this month. A statement by RN Ravi said that “The framework agreement with NSCN (IM) and the Agreed Position with the WC of NNPGs were extensively shared with the leaders, pertinent issues discussed, and doubts in competencies clarified, adds Eastern Mirror. Political maturity and wisdom of the Naga leaders who expressed their overwhelming support in favour of a settlement without any further delay is deeply appreciated”. RN Ravi said that NSCN (IM) has adopted a procrastinating attitude ‘to delay the settlement, raising the contentious symbolic issues of separate Naga national flag and constitution.’ He accused the Naga group of ‘mischievously dragging in the framework agreement’ and ascribing imaginary content to it. He in a statement said that “Some NSCN (I-M) leaders through various media platforms are misleading the people with absurd assumptions and presumptions over what they have already agreed with the government of India”. The statement said that “Primary stakeholders—tribal and civil society organisations from Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam were involved in the peace process and made valuable contributions through regular consultations and insightful inputs, adds Eastern Mirror. The church leaders with their constant prayers and goodwill have immensely contributed to the cause of enduring peace.” Th public statement also said that “It is a matter of great satisfaction that agreements with NSCN (IM) on August 3, 2015 and with seven Naga armed groups under the banner of Working Committee (WC) of Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) on November 17, 2017 on the political parameters of the settlement were signed. A mutually agreed draft comprehensive settlement, including all the substantive issues and competencies, is ready for inking the final agreement.” An unidentified Church leader stated that GoI was clear on its stand that the issue should not be prolonged any further. According to the leader, few civil societies were ‘impatient’ but there were other who maintained that ‘patience must be exercise to avoid bloodshed’.

Nagaland Postreports that 17 National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) leaders including former ‘kilo kilonser’ Hukavi Yeputhomi joined Naga National Political Group (NNPG) on October 25 in New Delhi. In a declaration Hukavi Yeputhomi stated that he along with his co-workers have decided to join the WC,NNPG on their own volition and with deep conviction at the “decisive hour for the Naga people” when an agreement was to have been inked with the government of India “without compromising on our history and identity’. Hukavi said though he was at the negotiating table till October 24, 2019, he realised that NSCN-IM) chief negotiator would “remain insensitive to our people’s plea for honourable and acceptable solution.” Hukavi said his decision was based on “our people’s desire for a peaceful co-existence between Nagaland and India.” Hukavi was received into NNPG by Neokpao Konyak and Kitovi Zhimomi. An NSCN-IM senior leader stated that Hukavi has defected to “one of the groups”. However, the leader also claimed that Hukavi was not a permanent member of NSCN-IM negotiation team. However, other sources stated that Hukavi was part of the 15-member NSCN (I-M) delegation, that held the crucial October 24 meeting in New Delhi. With just couple of days before the expiry of the three-month deadline, speculation is rife on whether the Government of India and NSCN (I-M) would be able to settle the Naga flag and constitution demand in the next meeting, tentatively, scheduled to be held on October 28 or October 29.

East Mojo reports that during the meeting in New Delhi with National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) on October 28, Government of India (GoI) informed the participants that deadline of October 31, 2019 to conclude the negotiations with all Naga groups has been withdrawn. Unidentified sources in Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) stated that “The Centre is unlikely to insist on October 31, 2019 as the deadline to sign the Naga peace talks.” Sources also added that “On October 31, 2019, two Union Territories (UTs) — Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh — are coming up. Amid increasing intervention from Pakistan, the Centre doesn’t want to take risk in law-and-order problem in other parts of the country, especially in the Northeast by unnecessarily sticking to a deadline. Since the GoI has already spent 22 long years, there is no harm in waiting for some more months to sign the Naga peace talks,” the sources said, adding: “Centre doesn’t want an unnecessary delay in inking the Naga peace process, but it doesn’t want to face any problem in the country, at least in the next 72 or 96 hours.”

On October 31 the deadlock of Naga peace talks was broken with National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) agreeing to sign deal with Government of India (GoI), reports Times of India. According to an official, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to make ‘final declaration’ during his scheduled visit to Nagaland in December 2019. The source also added that final declaration will be made shortly after revisiting the agreed points. NSCN-IM stated that the talks concluded “in line with the frame work agreement”. An NSCN-IM leader also added that “no one wants any more bloodshed in Nagaland. We have agreed to sign the agreement”. According to a Government source,” The issue of a separate constitution for the Nagas and territorial integration of Naga-inhabited areas outside the boundaries of Nagaland require further discussion to work out the modalities to address them through democratic and political processes”. Nagaland Post adds that according to an unidentified NSCN-IM leader who was part of the negotiations, during October 31 stated that both sides “finalised all contentious issues” and agreed to pursue it through “peaceful political process”. He also however added that “We still have to give competencies the final touch for final solution.” Refuting speculations that GoI and NSCN (I-M) have signed the final agreement, sources clarified that the two negotiating parties have only come to an understanding on the contentious issues of flag and constitution. Sources maintained that no agreement has been signed”. The Hindu adds that RN Ravi the interlocutor and Nagaland Governor stated on October 31 that “the accord has not been finalised yet. Matters are under discussion. NSCN-IM has come on board.” A Senior Government official stated that agreement with all groups including NSCN-IM will be signed soon. Alezo Venuh of Naga National Political Group (NNPG) who was involved in peace talks stated that ““We do not know the details of the agreement but we have agreed in principle to join the peace process and all issues have been worked on. The agreement can be signed any time soon.” Northeast Today adds that GoI has conditionally agreed on demand for Naga flag. The understanding between the GoI and NSCN-IM was reached during the 2nd meeting of October 31. However, demand for a separate constitution is still undecided and the government sources informed that the matter will be taken up through peaceful political process at the shortest time possible. East Mojo reports that according to sources Nagas can use their ‘flag’ in pan-Naga Hohos, sports and special events of the Nagas. Official use of the flag at all Government functions, office premises, buildings will be approved officially later during the political process. East Mojo further adds that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has stated that the talks will “conclude” only once the views and inputs of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, which are proposed to be a part of NSCN-IM’s proposed ‘Greater Nagaland’ -- are taken into account. Meanwhile Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu stated that said “During my telephonic conversation with Home Minister Amit Shahji today, I was assured that the views and inputs from states like Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam will be taken into consideration. Only then will the Naga talks will be concluded”. Times of India adds that Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMHA) has issued a statement saying that “It has come to the notice of govt that lots of rumours & misinformation are being spread... that a final Naga settlement has been arrived at & will be announced soon. It is creating anxiety & concern in some parts of the country. It is clarified that before any settlement is arrived at with the Naga groups, all stakeholders, including states of Assam, Manipur & Arunachal Pradesh, will be consulted & their concerns will be taken into consideration. No credence needs to be given to such incorrect info.”

Armed Naga cadres are likely to be absorbed into a newly formed security force under the terms of Naga peace agreement, reports The Sangai Express on November 4. The peace agreement is likely to be finalised within a fortnight. Weapons held by all Naga rebels are to be preserved and displayed in a newly established Naga Revolutionary Museum. Additionally, Autonomous Councils will be formed in Naga-dominated areas in Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. A bicameral Naga body to decide on local cultural issues will be formed under the peace deal that seems to have brought both New Delhi and the rebel organisations, which missed an October 31 deadline for signing the accord, on board. Additionally, Y Wangting Naga of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Reformation (NSCN-R) stated that “The final agreement is expected to be signed in the next fortnight provided the drafting of the agreement is completed”. He also added that “Nagas will continue to pursue the demand for a separate flag and constitution through political and democratic means”. He also added that “We must realize the contemporary political situations and reality”, when asked about why the Naga groups had agreed to drop their earlier inflexible stand on the integration of Naga-inhabited areas, a separate flag and constitution. A Senior Security official stated that “There was a lot of pressure that brought to bear on NSCN-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), reports The Sangai Express. The official also added that Tatmadaw of Myanmar was also vigilant along the border to prevent armed cadres moving base to contiguous areas along the Indo-Myanmar border. The NNPGs and social groups like the Naga Mothers Association (NMA) also mounted pressure on the NSCN(IM) to soften its stand.

Government of India is looking at concluding peace talks with the 23 Kuki and Zomi groups which have had Suspension of Operation agreements with the Indian government for the past decade, reports Indian Express on November 23. A B Mathur, Government of India interlocutor for the Kuki talks stated that “Talks are under way. We are hoping to arrive at an agreement soon. We cannot put a timeline on it as it is a complex issue, and we are looking at the charter of demands the groups have placed before us”. P S Haokip, ‘president’ of one of the biggest Kuki outfits — the Kuki National Organisation (KNO) expects the talks to conclude by early next year. While the KNO’s armed wing the Kuki National Army (KNA) — is one of the strongest in the region, there are 17 other armed groups, including the Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA) and Kuki National Front (KNF), which fall under its umbrella. Another six-armed groups come under the United Revolutionary Front (UPF). According to the 2011 census, there are 6.6 lakh Kuki and Zomi living in Manipur. A solution with the Kuki-Zomi groups is as essential as one with the banned Naga groups, as villages belonging to Naga and Kuki tribes are often contiguous. The Kuki insurgency has also been seen as a backlash to the Naga movement, with Kuki arming themselves against Naga aggression.
